Prompt / Lyrics
[INTRO] Boots on wood, house still breathin’ Morning light don’t say a thing Hat pulled low, one eye open [VERSE 1] Coffee’s cold but the hands stay steady Same mirror, older than I’m ready Lines on my face like welds in steel Every one earned, every one real I don’t talk loud, I let time explain Why I move slow but I carry weight There’s dust on my vest, truth in my stare Been everywhere I needed to be—still here [PRE-CHORUS] I don’t chase noise, I don’t make a scene I stand where the pressure gets mean [CHORUS] One eye open, other one closed I see more than I let on show World keeps barkin’, I don’t flinch I’ve lived my life on the heavy end No hands up, no flag waved I don’t bend just to feel saved One eye open, breath held tight Still standin’ here at the end of the night [POST-CHORUS] Still standin’ here… [VERSE 2] Walls remember the nights I passed Boot heels slow on the hardwood crack I’ve buried plans, I’ve kept my word Learned which promises don’t deserve Glasses fog when the truth gets close Funny how silence tells you the most I don’t need luck, I don’t need cheers I’ve outlived doubt, I’ve outrun fear [PRE-CHORUS] I don’t rush fate, I don’t beg time I just hold the line [CHORUS] One eye open, other one closed I see more than I let on show World keeps barkin’, I don’t flinch I’ve lived my life on the heavy end No hands up, no flag waved I don’t bend just to feel saved One eye open, breath held tight Still standin’ here at the end of the night [BRIDGE] If I go quiet, don’t read it wrong That’s just me stayin’ strong Storms pass quicker when you don’t run I already won what needed won [FINAL CHORUS] One eye open, steady ground Ain’t much left can knock me down I don’t need the last word said I let my shadow speak instead Hat low, spine straight I don’t owe the world an explanation One eye open, candle low Still here—yeah, that’s the code [OUTRO] Boots don’t rush Lights go dim Same man walkin’ back in
